This is why the front office should pursue an arm like Tanner Scott, who could serve as their closer in crucial situations.

Reports indicated that Philadelphia was interested in trading for the left-hander at the deadline but opted for Estevez instead.

If they want to rectify that decision, Scott is available again, but this time they must be willing to spend.

Ryan Finkelstein of Just Baseball believes it could happen, predicting he'll sign with the Phillies for $60 million over four years.

"Whether teams need a new closer or an elite setup man who can dominate lefties, Scott's name should top the list among free agent relievers. Last year, Josh Hader, the top closer on the market, received a five-year, $95 million deal. Hader had a more established track record than Scott and was also a year younger. While Scott's representation might aim for a five-year deal worth over $15 million per season, only Hader and Edwin Diaz have received such contracts."

The AAV wouldn't be the problem in his contract, but a four-year deal could be concerning.

Considering the other contracts for relievers in baseball, he would still be relatively pricey.

Scott is available without a team, and whether it's because clubs don't want to meet his asking price or not, Philadelphia needs to engage in the negotiations.

He was dominant during the 2024 season and would be an ideal addition to their bullpen.
